Hi everyone!

[number1gsxxr]

Hi, my name is Alex, and I'm a reefaholic. I'm in a process of setting up a 46-gal bowfront which will be a mixed reef but I have a 24-gal aquapod that is about 15 months old. I've just been taking it slow, reading and trying to learn as much as I can about this great hobby. Attached is a pic of my tank so far.

Anyway, I am glad to be here, and hope to learn info from many of you.

welcome to the BRS. I have a 46 Bow too that I just broke down to a QT tank. You will be getting the bug soon and buying a bigger tank. lol.
Good luck

The only pics I have of my aquapod are from when I just got it, but here is one from a while back. The blue coral is just a skeleton I bought in FL when I was little. I never had any live corals in it since I couldn’t get the water quality up to par. I made a lot of mistakes but I learned a lot along the way. I also now know why my snails kept dying. There was nothing for them to eat

Now all I have in it is a coral banded shrimp, some hermits, and a few snails since I'd like to get rid of it. I think I'll trade the CBS back to my LFS too since I'm going a different route with the bowfront.

Nice pics of the new and old tank... And glad to hear you're going to be taking it slow it'll def be worth it ten-fold in the long run...

Thought I would update this thread with a few new pics of the tank. Just about all the coral I have are from people on here.

Better and additonal pics can be viewed here.

Looks good. You should think about moving the green star polyps. They will over grow your rock work and become a real PITA later on. It's best kept on an isolated rock on the sand bed.
